The birth of the birth of all leather spike 'Sufida' 

──What is Kazu's commitment to spikes?

Tomoyori Miura (hereinafter,Kazu）："Compared to those who use their nerves to kick the ball to their fingertips, they may not be so particular about it. There are various types of players, such as Shunsuke (Shunsuke Nakamura), who has a play style. I think I'm choosing spikes with careful attention to detail. I think I'm checking various parts because I want to drop the ball where I'm aiming in millimeters. Compared to the players, I'm not particular about it at all. "

── Among them, what if you stick to it? 

Kazu　"When I was playing at Verdy, when I was in my twenties, I wore all-leather spikes called'Sfeeder'."

──Puma's legendary all-kangaroo leather spikes.

Kazu"Puma has spikes that I definitely want to wear. I had one. The first was" Belt Meister "and" King Pele "was also cool. So, become a professional and try on" Belt Meister ". Then it didn't fit my leg. There was a bit of a bump inside and it hurt. "

─ ─ It is frustrating, is not it? 

Kazu"But since there is an immortal masterpiece called" Parameco "in Puma, it is" Sufida "that made it possible that the spikes like" belt meister "can not be made with that foot type. Also, both the insoles and the inside of the spike are all leather.Thanks a bit, but it was a bit heavy but I did not mind.

When listening to players in their thirties, you say "Sufida is the image of Kazu". I asked for "KAZU" by embroidery, put a Japanese flag and put "BOA SORTE". Rather than being comfortable for spikes, there are sticking to designs and designs (laugh) "

 ──I think it's like Kazu-san.


Kazu"Now it is not unusual to embroider spikes anymore, such as name, number of jersey, favorite word, etc. Even if it is seen worldwide, various players are doing it. I think that I am in charge of Puma's servant.It was 23 or 24 years ago when I began embroidery, there was no Japanese national player to enter the Hinomaru in Japan. " 

─ ─ In 1993, Mr. Kazu's spike has memories of embroidery of signature included in Vero.

 Kazu"Was it so .... When I went to Serie A, I got a point for" Sufida. "I do not usually wear points in Japan, but since the bottom of the grass is clay, it corresponds to that Speaking of what you can afford, is it the best?
Right now I already wear what I told you to wear this. Recently there are really light spikes, and coloring is also various. "
